Subject: Encrypted Loopback Filesystem
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2004 10:43:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1091555025.5487.49.camel@bijar.nec-labs.com> (raw)
Hello,
I am trying to play around loopback device and want to set up an
encrypted loopback filesystem. I did the following things:
1. losetup -e serpent /dev/loop0 /etc/crypt
/ect/crypt: Is a directory
So I tried: losetup -e serpent /dev/loop0 /etc/cryptfile and this time
cryptfile is a plain txt file.
Enter passwd...
2. mkfs -t ext2 /dev/loop0
3. mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt/crypt
After this, how do I verify that anything happened that has enabled
encryption? I can't understand where the encrypted filesystem lies in
here:( Plus, when we say 'encrypted', which file is on earth encrypted?
Is that files and data in /mnt/crypt are encrypted form of
/etc/cryptfile? Really confused.
TIA!
Lei
